I imagine that most people would prefer this book as a coffee table book especially as the publisher has taken great care with the placement and printing of the many vintage perfume posters that are scattered throughout the book. This book lives on my Kindle and I am happy having all the posters easily accessible there as well as Barbara’s words.Book ReviewLaunch Notes
